Hi everyone, here's my grow journal. Sprouted on 4/20.

Here's my setup:
2.5 ft x 8 ft closet
1 tall oscillating fan
two - 23w cfls 6400k running 18/6 at 4" from top of plant
10" pot
65% Scotts premium potting soil (0.07-0.01-0.03) mixed with 35% Miracle Grow perlite (which is enriched with MG plant food 0.04-0.01-0.06)
temps range from 78*F to 84*F
soil ph is 6.4
watering once a week

I feel like my lil plant is growing extremely slow :( Any input would be greatly appreciated. It's most likely overfertilization from the nutes in the Scott's plus the MG perlite being enriched with nutes. The Scott's says it feeds up to 4 months. I have since read that time release stuff is bad :/

Here's some pics from day 17:

Day 21:

This is when I noticed some yellowing on the bottom 2 leaves, so I flushed with water trying to rinse the fertilizer off the perlite...Didn't help any.

I did the same thing less is more remember that! Less watering and less fertilizing is better. ou cant force your plant to grow.
 
Thanks for the reply. I havent fertilized yet...just using too rich of a soil mix. I let it get completely dry 2 inches down. I also have a rapidtest moisture meter that measures from 1 to 10, and right before the last time I watered it read 1. Is there anything I can do about the nute problem?
 
Move those CFL's closer. Like an inch away, Trust me. And also try to get some CFL's that are the same, But like 40 watts. There cheap. And are working Great for my, Im on day 31 of my grow. Check out my grow log. Theres some good pics on the last page that i just took this afternoon.
